Abstract :
The authors discuss the research being conducted by the Wright Research and Development Center (WRDC) concerning technologies for rapid design and maintenance of advanced avionics systems software. They describe the modular embedded computer software (MECS) effort being conducted by The Analytic Sciences Corporation for WRDC´s Software Concepts Group. Point solutions for the major elements of software development/maintenance environment for advanced avionics systems are defined. A prototype modular embedded computer software design architecture for advanced avionics systems is presented. Specific tools include the Ada software design environment, the expert resource mapper, the performance analyzer, and the reliability analyzer. Plans for proof-of-concept demonstrations for the prototype design methodology and tools are summarized
